Hughey nailed for delinquent tax

(Note —Information for the 10075 and 50-years ago segments has been researched and posted by Mary Knobel. The Advance-News staff wishes to thank her for her contribution to the column) 100 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER 21, 1898 Monday, Marshal Weyburn made a haul on a delinquent tax claim against Tommy Hughey, who now resides in Kosciusko County, south of Nappanee. His delinquent tax amounted to about $27. running over many years. He was here visiting and had with him his horse and buggy. When he was confronted with the county’s tale of woe, he jocosely remarked that if 40 cents would pay it, he could find the means and disposition. The law, it seems, unknown to Tommy, had its uncompromising eye on the rig and he was obliged to whack up the tax together with the cost amounting to $31.75. Cal Webster, his father-in-law, borrowed the money for him, and Tommy went his way—if not rejoicing, a much wiser Populist in regard to the tax law of his state, anyhow. Nappanee is to have that famous Eleven of last season, who never lost a game. The high school will organize with about the same team that they worked on the gridiron last season. 75 YEARS AGO SEPTEMBER 20, 1923 The teachers of Harrison,
